Aside from the plausible NLRA issues with his termination, California has (by far) the most employee friendly laws in the country. I would be a pretty penny that he is going to get a settlement out of this.

I think, if you read the letter, it was clear he was not saying his coworkers were biologically or morally incapable of producing better work. He specifically said that any biological differences were too small to use to make determinations about individuals.

Lots of libertarians would support government intervention (there was a survey a few months ago and a pretty decent percent supported it at the time). If you accept that CO2 in large quantities is a pollutant that is causing harm to the entire planet, you have the type of situation many small government advocates think is properly in the government's domain. You have hundreds of millions of people suffering negative externalities and enough sources of the externalities that it is basically impossible to show direct causation by any one of them. This makes it impractical to organize a lawsuit to get redress. A carbon tax has always struck me as a not unreasonable way to counter the externality.

I'm not disputing that some people would teach incorrectly, but if they do teach incorrectly, the students will fail the exam. The point I was trying to get at is that it doesn't really matter who teaches the student if the student passes the test at the end of the day.

I would prefer to see at least an option for people to take the money and put it in their own IRAs rather than in SS. Mandatory saving isn't libertarian, but it's better than what we have now in my opinion.

In the Sword of Truth series, Shota (witch woman) repeatedly warns Richard and Kahlan (main protagonists) not to have a child and threatens to kill the child if they do (they are about to be married when this happens). Then they never have a kid. One of many disappointments in the series. Thanks Terry...

Do people actually believe that the quality of life of the middle class has not improved in 40 years? How many people would actually choose to live in 1977 rather than 2017 if they were given the choice?
